Shilpa Rangnekar is a conceptual artist working with a multidisciplinary approach for socially engaged art and research practices.She is particularly interested in observations of everyday life and associated behaviors which either comes out in the form of utilitarian Art, food performances or very expressive and engaging community oriented projects.

This involvement has helped her develop projects in collaboration with communities based on dialogical and participatory practice.One of her recent project for Sandarbh was also supported by Creative Encounters: A cultural partnership between Asia and Europe. Shilpa has travelled extensively to Germany, South Korea, and the USA participating in several international residencies.
